Fagus sylvatica 'Purpurea', commonly known as the purple beech, is a majestic deciduous tree notable for its deep purple to dark bronze foliage. This European native can reach heights of 20-30 meters, forming a broad, dense canopy that provides excellent shade. In spring, the tree produces small, yellow-green flowers followed by triangular nuts encased in spiny husks. The smooth, grey bark and striking leaf color make it a standout specimen in large gardens and landscapes. 'Purpurea' thrives in well-drained soils and prefers full sun to partial shade, offering both ornamental beauty and seasonal interest.
